Netherlands Wind Ensemble & Bart Moeyaert - Paradise (Dutch spoken)

Dutch Wind Ensemble & Bart Moeyaert

Taking the three oratorios by Franz Joseph Haydn ( Die Schöpfung , Die Jahreszeiten and Die Sieben letzten Worte ) as a starting point, the Netherlands Wind Ensemble, together with the Flemish writer Bart Moeyaert, created a successful music theatre trilogy consisting of: De Schepping , Het Paradijs and De Hemel . Het Paradijs is the second part of the cycle based on the oratorio Die Jahreszeiten by Haydn in a special arrangement for wind ensemble by Hans van der Heide.

The Paradise

The story of Paradise begins where Creation ended. The Garden of Eden is one of excess. Bart Moeyaert's language vibrates. In a few strokes of the pen, he describes the exuberant nature and stimulates all the senses. He makes it tangible between the lines that in the midst of all the harmony there are only two dissonants: the man who tells the story and the woman who is with him.
